Does anyone else hate TikTok? I tried to show a friend and my gf a YouTube video that was 4 minutes long, and they could only watch 30 seconds of it before they pulled out their phones to laugh at Tiktoks, that weren’t funny to me. I understand there are some funny clips on TikTok, but I hate that it’s lowering its users attention spans, and how addictive it is.

When I was a kid I used to hear that kids had no attention span because all we did was watch TV. But that couldn't really be true because most programs back then were at least a half hour long. In fact, they were longer then than the garbage shows on TV are on now are if you removed the commercials. Now if they show programs from the 80s or earlier on 'merican TV they either jarringly edit them or speed them up so everyone sounds like they inhaled helium so they can fit more brain rotting commercials. And now we have TiKTok and not only is it completely making humans more stupid than ever, but the content is so horrifying that I know it's a sign we are in the End Times. People FAKING mental health disorders and autism. Trying to be funny but failing miserably at it, making hideous facial expressions like something out of The Son of The Mask. You can't even tell what gender half the people in the videos are and they're at least 300 lbs overweight. I know that makes me sound like a boomer. I'm a generation X-er, but if you don't like or criticize anything from the past three to five years you're a boomer. So what? There are reviews on IMBD about the Emoji Movie right now claiming that the show is excellent and claim if you hate the movie, "You. Are. A . Boomer". How original. :roll:

I NEED to get off this planet.

You had me until you mentioned gender. Females and males can look/dress however they want. They are not slaves to their sex or how they were born. Gender constructs are why we have so many people thinking they are trans, and mental health issues. Let boys wear dresses, let girls wear men clothes and be masculine. Who. Cares. It’s crazier to me to put everyone in a box.

I refuse to install TikTok or to make an account on there. Not only does the app itself have serious security and privacy concerns, but I also feel like its community and the idiotic s**t people post there have had a detrimental effect on humanity as a whole.

The world would be a better place if TikTok vanished from the face of the Earth. Nothing of value would be lost.
